Dinner At Masala Curry, Anaheim, California
Monday, May 2, 2022


This used to be called "Curry Out". The food has always been good but it used to be sold like a Chinese Carry Out where you could pick a meal of 1, 2 or 3 items that would come with rice and nann. You could eat inside if you didn't want "Take Out", but it was like eating inside a fast food restaurant. They still offer the 1,2, or 3 item options, but you can also purchase an "all you can eat" buffet that is served all day from the time they open to the time they close, 7 days a week. The food is still quite good, but they seem to have a much larger selection than what I remembered. The interior is a bit more fancy and inviting such that you no longer feel your eating in a fast food restaurant.

Very few Indian restaurants in this area have brought back their buffet after they closed them due to Covid. Even before Covid, no Indian restaurants in this area offered evening buffets. We'll likely return here in the future, especially if we feel like an Indian buffet for dinner.

Since we are now at our home in Vancouver, Washington, so much of the time, there were 3 months of our wine club waiting for us to pick up, 2 bottles per month, or 6 bottles total. Last time we picked up our wine club bottles, I think we picked up an entire case, 2 bottles per month for 6 months! After this wine club pick-up we are cancelling this wine club membership. It is a great club for people who live nearby as members can get either 2 glasses of wine for free or one wine flight for free every time they come in, even if they come in every day. Also, every Tuesday, when members purchase one appetizer, one entree, and one dessert, they get another one of each for free! But since we are so seldom in the area, the club benefits are no longer worth it for us.

From the above photo the restaurant may look empty, but that was because we were sitting on the bar side of the lounge. The other side of the lounge and the main room in the restaurant as well as the parking lot were packed. Amazing how many people were here for breakfast mid-morning in the middle of the week.

Cinco De Mayo
At Watson's Soda Fountain & Cafe
Circle Of Orange, California
Thursday, May 5, 2022


We were planning to go earlier in the day to Duke's Bar & Grill for Cinco De Mayo as they were having all sorts of Mexican food specials and live Mexican bands. However, we were taking care of other things in the day that took longer than expected such that Duke's was too busy when we arrived. Instead we tried to go to a Mexican restaurant at the Circle Of Orange, but that restaurant had a two and a half hour wait to get in. So instead we went to Watson's Soda Fountain & Cafe which was having a Cinco De Mayo special and no wait. Actually it was pretty empty.
